The days running up to Christmas are historically the worst times to go out gift shopping. Too many people leaving it until the last minute to go out and buy stocking fillers and gadgets for friends and family. As we’d heard already this year, the iPad was on top of most people’s wish list, and images from an Apple store would seemingly cement that analysis as fact. These images were taken at around 3pm, all within a few minutes of each other at the same Westfield Century City Mall near Beverly Hills.

The images show the huge contrast in footfall between Apple and Microsoft stores:
